The Jerry Falwell 'gospel'

"God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve."

"God himself preserved the Bible, and brought it down through the ages."

"If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being."

"AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals."

"It is God's planet - and he's taking care of it. And I don't believe that anything we do will raise or lower the temperature one point."

"I believe that global warming is a myth. And so, therefore, I have no conscience problems at all and I'm going to buy a Suburban next time."

"The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country. The idea was that while you can attack a public figure, you shouldn't be able to attack his mother, or is wife, or his children, they are not public figures."
